Phyllis McGuire — the lead singer and last remaining member of popular 1950s trio the McGuire Sisters — has died at 89. The Middletown, Ohio, native passed away Tuesday at her lavish estate in Las Vegas, although no cause of death was given, the Las Vegas Sun reported. The singer received her first big break in 1952, when Phyllis and older sisters Christine and Dorothy McGuire were signed by Coral Records, Variety reported. That same year, they claimed first prize at the “Arthur Godfrey Talent Scouts” competition. The talented trio then took the music sphere by storm, touring the country and notching frequent appearances on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and other variety shows, the Wrap reported.
